I should have mentioned in order to use NextStart you need the NextStart application. If you want to use Workshelf, you need the Workshelf application.
Both can be found either separately or bundled together here: http://www.winstep.net

Be aware that LiteSTEP is not just a 'program' but is actually a 'shell' for the Operating System, and hence should NOT be treated lightly, or in blissful ignorance.
Read about what it is and what it does BEFORE you try using/installing it.
The same goes for any and every shell replacement...

NextStart: easy to use, can be run on top of explorer, costs money
LiteStep: hard to use for computer novices, can be run as shell ("normal" way of use) or on top of explorer, Open Source but requires more time to learn, most features of any desktop/shell replacements

(The above are based on NexStart 2.8, NexStart 3.0 (currently in beta) has some of its configuration dialog boxes rearranged to be a bit more sensible.
If you're looking for Workshelf information (Workshelf is the horizontal tabbed shorcut launcher that complements NexStart):

As for Litestep, I know nothing about it but lots of other people here do
